And yesterday was my niece's birthday party. I baked her a cake, and spent much of Sunday morning on that. This is only the second cake I've made from scratch, so nothing too crazy, just a vanilla layer cake with whipped cream filling and chocolate frosting. It looked cute, with pink writing and pink and white polka dots.
The party was fun, a casual cookout with several kids and adults. I was surprised I did well at this event, it was fun to watch all the kids (oldest there was 4) interact with each other and play. The green monster of jealousy barely reared it's head.
And last night was my last night of BCP. Tomorrow morning I go in to the now-mean-to-me old clinic for my suppression check u/s and blood work. I've had on and off very light spotting since my last (chunky monkey) period, so I'm a bit nervous about tomorrow. I hope everything is doing what it should (or I guess not doing anything at all) down there. If all goes well, I get the all clear to begin injections on Thursday. Micro dose lup.ron only for 2 days, then full-on stims on Saturday. I think it will be 4 injections each day. I hope I have enough space on my tummy.
It should be an interesting week.
Sounds like a great weekend and a yummy cake. I hope your visit goes well and that you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYay for stims! I hope everything is quiet, you know...down there, for your supression check!
ReplyDeleteI start Lupron tonight as long as my blood work comes back ok, I am on the long lupron schedule (I think) with est ER oct 5. Looks like we will be cycling together! I look forward to following you on this journey!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely cake, good work! And congrats on talking to your Dad. We just spilled the beans to my ILs this weekend, mostly because we need to stop the little "where are the grandkids" comments plus they were supposed to visit and we needed to cancel. It was a big relief, especially for DH for them to know now. They're still don't 100% get it (asked DH why he wasn't at work on Friday when he had explained he was at the hospital with me - I guess they thought he could dump me at home and then go back?), but very understanding and sympathetic. It's nice not to have to always be coming up with creative excuses, as they're our closest geographical relatives. I hope telling your Dad lightens your load a bit.
ReplyDeletelooks like you will be roughly 5 days ahead of me :)
ReplyDeleteOooooh lady! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed that you get the green light for stims!
And 4 injections per day? As Uncle Jesse would say,"Lord have mercy!" You'll get through it though. It's all for the babies!
Good luck tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to post a comment about your brave conversation with your father -- and wordpress and blogspot are not working well together. Please know I've been thinking about you.
I'm sure that having the conversation behind you is a relief -- and so now all energy toward success on this cycle!
